CastT
CastT is a cross-language runtime type casting framework designed to standardize value conversion between types across dynamic and statically typed languages. It provides a core casting engine and a meta-type registry that describe permissible conversions and their error behavior, enabling predictable and auditable casts.
Origin and development: CastT was introduced in 2021 by CastTech Labs as an extension to the CastCore
Architecture: The framework comprises a lightweight core engine, a type registry, runtime adapters, and a policy
Features: CastT supports explicit cast expressions, robust null handling, overflow and precision control, and customizable cast
Usage: Developers declare cast rules for their types and apply CastT casts within their code or data
Limitations and reception: Adoption is concentrated in projects that require cross-language data exchange or strict casting
